The Geneva-based United Nations committee is called for some reason the Human Rights Council, although a more suitable name would be "the anti-Israel incitement council." Throughout the decades this body has been active, it has failed to adopt a single resolution in favor of Israel, but has passed dozens if not hundreds of resolutions against the Jewish state.
The three mothers of the kidnapped Israeli teens entered this den of wolves and hyenas on Tuesday in a desperate attempt to explain to the world that Palestinian terrorists had not kidnapped soldiers or fighters, but three young students a criminal act which blatantly contradicts every rule of human rights and humanity.
"Human rights"? Don't make the members of this committee laugh. Not only did they not support the miserable mothers, but most of them even attacked them with lies in the most blatant manner.
One after the other, the representatives of the enlightened states, known for their impassioned fight for freedom of man and human rights, stood up to attack the three Israeli women. The representatives of Syria, Iran, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Russia, China, Cuba, and of course Palestine, stood up to accuse Israel of every possible and impossible crime against the rights of the Arabs in general and the Palestinian people in particular....

(10,650 posts)The typical de-humanizing of those opposing Israeli policy (Wolves, Hyenas) is a hallmark of Israeli propaganda.
These settlers, living on stolen land need to be asked tough questions. They steal the land and then expect their children to be able to walk around without problems? You keep people under your boot-heel for long enough and they strike back.
And for the Israelis to complain about kidnapping is hypocritical considering they hold whole populations hostage. The kidnapping of those students is an outrageous act, but no one should be surprised it happened.

You reject the idea that human rights laws apply to everyone, regardless of what someone's government may have done?

(2,682 posts)resolutions against Israel. That's because Israel continually violates UN charter provisions and spits in the general direction of the resolutions. And despite the actions of the Israeli government, they have the gall to all the UN antisemitic.
Wikipedia: "As of 2013, Israel had been condemned in 45 resolutions by United Nations Human Rights Council since its creation in 2006the Council had resolved almost more resolutions condemning Israel than on the rest of the world combined. The 45 resolutions comprised almost half (45.9%) of all country-specific resolutions passed by the Council, not counting those under Agenda Item 10 (countries requiring technical assistance). From 1967 to 1989 the UN Security Council adopted 131 resolutions directly addressing the ArabIsraeli conflict. In early Security Council practice, resolutions did not directly invoke Chapter VII. They made an explicit determination of a threat, breach of the peace, or act of aggression, and ordered an action in accordance with Article 39 or 40. Resolution 54 determined that a threat to peace existed within the meaning of Article 39 of the Charter, reiterated the need for a truce, and ordered a cease-fire pursuant to Article 40 of the Charter. Although the phrase "Acting under Chapter VII" was never mentioned as the basis for the action taken, the chapter's authority was being used."
